Hello :)

I'm waiting for the 1070, meanwhile, i have everything except the gpu,psu and the case
So my questions are: will the 650w power supply kill my pc or not?
Should i get a 650w psu?
And if you see anything wrong with my build just tell me, Thanks :)

All of the kit you picked looks great for your up coming new build.

As the other poster said, your concerns about the 650w power supply are not nothing to worry about.
As said you may have or buy a 650w power supply.

And the rest of the components may never even draw a total wattage consumption of 650w.
Even with all of the parts you have just chosen for your new system build.

But it never hurts to get a power supply that has a good wattage output rating anyway.
In fact, in the long run your doing yourself a service Jozeph.

Because if you ever choose to add more things to the system like extra hard drive storage space.
Or decide to upgrade for example to an even more powerful graphics card as an example in a year or so more.
You...
No, because power supplies don't work like that. "650W" doesn't mean that a power supply simply generates that amount of power on a constant basis. A 650W doesn't have any more problem with a PC that only requires 150W than a car that can go 150 MPH has going 60 MPH. Now, there may be issues with efficiency at differing loads on a PSU, but that's a very different issue in which pennies a month are at stake.
 


Good build. Good PSU. You'll be fine.
 
Better PSU.

Sorry if my question made you (OH MY GOD) but thanks for telling me it's okay to run it but it will cost me money (money isn't an issue) that's what i got from your reply, sorry again if my question was dumb

I'm gonna go with the 650W if you're wondering

You will have the confidence in knowing the system will still work right and have enough power to drive it`s self and work properly if the new hardware demands more power when fitted to your system.

Good luck with the build when you finally get all the parts you need.
And happy Gaming ect. Jozeph.

It`s all fine nothing to worry about.
